Italy's Gallipoli

Long day's sail from Ciro Marina on the toeof Itlay to Gallipoli on the heel.
But the weather has become delightful (enough wind to sail at 6 knots).
Ciro Marina absolutley lovely, as yet unexploited marina with fair number of fishing boats.
Judith Rosamund (first mate) and I went ashore and shopped and practised our Italian.

Now in Gallipoli for a few days.
David's Mac laptop seems to have died (after about seven years, so not bad) so he's happily using this one for all essential internetting.
